THE SHAVEN BEAUTY, by YUSUF IBN HARUN AL-RAMADI First Line: They have shaved his head Last Line: Thank god his dawn still saving! | |||
They have shaved his head In ugliness to dress him; They were full of dread, And jealous to possess him. Black as night, and bright As dawn, until his shaving, Now he's lost his night, Thank God his dawn still saving! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FIDELITY by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH THE YEAR OF JUBILEE by HENRY CLAY WORK THE BURIED FLOWER by WILLIAM EDMONSTOUNE AYTOUN THE CHELSEA PENSIONERS by SUSANNA BLAMIRE FO'C'S'LE YARNS: 1ST SERIES.
